Coeur d’Alene Conference Photographer William Morton

William Morton has been a corporate event photographer for more than 12 years (and Morton Visuals is a proud Coeur d’Alene Chamber of Commerce member). Conferences, annual conventions, and business meetings are all part of our scope. We are now excited to offer Coeur d’Alene conference photography to the North Idaho region, whether it’s at the beautiful Coeur d’Alene Resort, the Hagadone Event Center, or elsewhere.

Many of our clients hire us year after year. Because William knows VIPs and key personnel as well as how an event goes from beginning to end, he helps clients maintain consistency from year to year.

The reason for this is obvious. All of our corporate photography is done professionally. So, we know exactly how photos can enhance the success of a campaign, brand, or business. As professionals with more than 30 years of photography experience, top-of-the-line equipment, and a high level of technical expertise, we are the ideal choice for handling corporate event photography.

A specialty of Morton Visuals is capturing key moments. In addition to taking pictures discreetly, we can actively participate in the festivities to make the celebration more enjoyable.

Academic as well as medical conferences have been covered by our team. We have also covered many trade shows and corporate events. See how we can help you with your Coeur d’Alene conference photography.

It is obvious why this is the case. Our team is committed to professionalism, and we specialize in corporate photography. Therefore, we are extremely familiar with how specific photos can benefit a campaign, brand, or company. The fact that we have 30 years of professional photography experience, redundant (top-of-the-line) equipment, and the confidence to describe ourselves as experts makes us the right choice to handle corporate event photography.

Morton Visuals specializes in the capture of key moments. As an expert at blending into the background, we can take pictures discreetly or participate in the festivities to get into the spirit.

Our Coeur d’Alene convention photography team has covered both corporate and medical conferences. Additionally, we have covered trade shows and organizations as well. Cvent, the global leader in event management, has written an article that explains the differences between conventions, conferences and trade shows.

Event Photography Services

Morton Visuals offers three primary services (and one bonus service) for conferences and conventions:

Documentary Coverage

All major events, breakout sessions, trade shows, exhibits, sponsors and attendees engagement, speakers, presenters, and more are covered by us. As well as being used for social media throughout the event, this photography is used in marketing next year’s event. The slideshow at the top of the page offers examples of this type of photography. 

Conference Headshots

We are often hired to provide professional conference headshots as a value-added service to attendees if we are not providing extensive documentary coverage – or if the organization has in-house personnel covering the event. We’ve found that offering headshots to your guests has been extremely popular. We’ve written an article explaining how to offer headshots. TIP: Offer it to event sponsors as an extra promotion opportunity!)

Video Interviews and Testimonials

As part of Morton Visuals’ new services, key players in your organization can be interviewed in short videos. Guests can also share their thoughts about your event (and why it’s so valuable to attend) in testimonials. The clips can be used for a highlight reel at your event’s conclusion, but can also be used for social media marketing and marketing next year’s event as well!

Trade Show Booth Photography

Moreover, we are able to offer your sponsors and vendors professional exhibit photography that highlights their (often very expensive) displays as a bonus. Since vendors hire us directly for that, it does not cost the event organizers anything. All they need to do is let their exhibitors know that it’s available.

A convention is typically a large event attended by participants from various companies and organizations. The primary focus is usually trade and business activities. Some conventions include trade shows and exhibit halls during which sponsors display their product and service offerings.

Off-site activities may also be scheduled so convention attendees can enjoy the region’s attractions. Conventions provide businesses with the opportunity to display their products. If you need Coeur d’Alene convention photography, you want to ensure that your convention photographer is able to cover all the bases.

Marketing materials from previous years’ events are often used to inflate attendance numbers. When you choose Morton Visuals for your convention photography, we ensure maximum participation from sponsors and attendees alike.


Coeur d’Alene Conference Photography

There is a fine difference between conventions and conferences. In general, organizations in the academic, medical, and trade sectors frequently hold conferences focused on education and information exchange. A conference is usually more focused on presentations than a convention, and is usually smaller and more intimate. In addition to keynote speakers, breakout sessions, networking opportunities, and large general sessions, you can include multiple activities at your event.

In general, conference budgets tend to be smaller since sponsors are less likely to put money into a conference in exchange for a chance to market their products. No matter what your needs are, we work to develop Coeur d’Alene conference photography packages will work for you. Photography from your conference is vital to attracting sponsors and attendees next year. Highlight the learning, networking, and experiences attendees will have at your event and it will be that much more attractive to potential attendees.

With the ability to photograph events from all angles, including backstage, a range of images can be used for promotional purposes and social media use.
